Define Status Names

You can define your own names for the statuses of resources. Define names that point to the condition that the statuses represent. For instance, you could define WTNG_MOUNT as the name for the status of a tape drive that is being mounted.

CA OPS/MVS uses three default status names:

Unless you define them differently in the SSM_GROUP_STDEF table, these three statuses have the following characteristics:

CUR_EQ_DES

D_Group Column: No group

D_PRIORITY Column: 231 - 1 (lowest possible priority)

D_COLOR Column: GREEN

D_HIGHLIGHT Column: No highlighting

D_TEXT Column: Resource &RN State &CS (&RN is a variable containing the name of the resource)

CUR_NE_DES

D_Group Column: No group

D_PRIORITY Column: 1 (highest priority)

D_COLOR Column: RED

D_HIGHLIGHT Column: No highlighting

D_TEXT Column: Resource &RN State &CS (&CS is a variable containing the current state of the resource)

DEF_ERROR

D_Group Column: No group

D_PRIORITY Column: 1

D_COLOR Column: RED

D_HIGHLIGHT Column: UNDER (underscore)

D_TEXT Column: Status status Not Defined

Example: SSM_GROUP_STDEF table

The following is an example of the SSM_GROUP_STDEF table:
